These are absolutely delicious, the best seeded crackers I have tried
I am lucky enough to often get sent recipes from followers of my page, I save them to a file and then sometimes it takes me a while to come back to them.
This recipe was sent to me by the lovely Wendy in May 2022 and I have just now got around to testing them, and boy was she right when she said “be warned they are addictive”.
These are completely gluten free, dairy free, sugar free crackers that are seriously tasty. They are healthy too, and that can help alleviate some of the guilt as you reach for a few more.
I have added dried rosemary to the recipe as the only change, cumin seeds would also be divine so I will try those next. Otherwise this is the amazing recipe as sent in by Wendy.

Making these crackers is so incredibly easy. You only need small quantities of the seeds, which means you may have plenty left over to make them once a week to keep the tin topped up.
I found everything except the black sesame at my local supermarket, but our local Asian stores had the black sesame seeds. Cornmeal Flour is different to cornflour so please do not confuse the two!
The method is so easy, simply measure out the ingredients into a bowl, add the oil and boiling water and stir to combine. Then cover a large baking tray (ideally one with a lip) in baking paper and then spread the mixture in a thin even layer over the tray.

If you only have small trays you may wish to use two. My crackers are around 3-4 ml thick.
The total baking time is around 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours long on a medium heat, I took my crackers out at the 30 minute mark to run a pizza cutter over it to make the cuts for the size crackers I want. If you just want to break it up into rustic chunks later you can skip this step.
Then bake until the edges are lovely and crispy, and the middle feels firm and crisping up also. Then reove from the oven and cool completely before breaking into pieces.
If stored properly these will last for weeks in an airtight container, if they get a chance to last that long. Lovely served with dip, guacamole, hummus, with a little cheese or just on its own.

The Best Seeded Crackers
Delicious healthy moreish seeded crackers that are so simple to make.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Cornmeal Flour, 130 grams
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt
- 3 Tablespoons Linseeds
- 3 Tablespoons Black Sesame Seeds
- 3 Tablespoons Sunflower Seeds
- 3 Tablespoons Pumpkin Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary or Cumin Seeds (optional)
- 1/4 Cup Oil, 60mls (Vegetable or Olive Oil)
- 1 1/4 Cups Boiling Water, 310mls
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven to 170 Bake
- Line a large baking tray with baking paper, cooking spray helps the paper stick to the tray. My tray is 39cm x 26cm with a 1.5cm lip
- In a medium bowl add the cornmeal, salt, linseeds, black sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds (and rosemary if using) and stir well
- Add to this the oil and the boiling water and stir until well combined.
- Spread this mixture onto the prepared oven tray
- Place in the middle rack of the oven, total baking time is 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. However I like to take out the tray at 30 minutes
- At 30 minutes using a pizza cutter I carefully cut the crackers to the size I want, see image above
- Then return to the oven to complete baking. Set timer for a further 45 minutes, then check
- The crackers on the edge need to feel crispy but also the middle ones want to be firm and not soft - return to the oven for a further 15 minutes if you require.
- Once crispy remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the tray
- Then once cold break up the crackers and add to an airtight container, will keep for up to 3 weeks at room temperature if stored correctly.
- Enjoy!

What could you substitute for the cornmeal flour please?
justamumnz says
Possibly rice flour or almond flour but I haven’t tested any alternatives sorry. Regular flour won’t really work here.
